==A "Latest Beta Patch" Tracker for Front Page==
 
I feel that it would be a good idea if, on the front page next to the "Latest Patch" and "Latest Blog Post," we had a link to the archive of the beta patch notes as soon as Valve begins pushing patches through in the near future. Besides, there's quite a bit of extra space there, and I feel quite a few people will come looking for it inevitably. [[User:Kanosea|Kanosea]] 10:37, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
I suppose beta updates also show up in TF2 news, no? [[User:Strobe|Strobe]] 10:41, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
I feel this is a great idea! I am sure many fans would love to have the scoop on beta updates. [[User:sharingankainon|sharingankainon]] 10:11, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

== Holiday Theme ==
 
 
 
Even if nothing for the holidays comes out for the game, anybody else besides me for or against maybe a little holiday background, maybe some snowflakes or something? Just to brighten up the place for the holidays :D --[[User:EvilDeadFan|<font color="blue"><tt><big><u>'''EvilDeadFan'''</u></big></tt></font>]] [[Image:Pyro Blue Big.jpg|15px]] 17:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:We have the official christmas cards to work with, and Pyro, Heavy and Scout all have winter themed hats. I think a nice banner could be made, but that's just my two cents [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 17:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

==Blurred Hat Pictures==
 
I've noticed how the loadout, store, and catalog pictures for the Vintage Merryweather, the Carouser's Capotain, and the Horrific Headsplitter are very blurred. Also on the list of servers, the pictures for the official maps Watchtower and Pipeline are blurred too. When might this be fixed? [[User:Jarhead|Jarhead]] 01:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Jarhead

== Should there be a mouse guide? ==
 
 
 
I noticed there are guides for IRC and other not so TF2 related guides. Many people do not have much knowledge on how to use a mouse well in TF2.
 
 
 
Should there at least be a link to an outside article somewhere in the wiki for users who want to know what Raw Input and other mouse are?

On the front page, it lists the patches and blog additions as being "Yesterday" on January 3rd. As of now, it's January 6. Fix?

== Link to [[Crafting]] ==
 
 
 
The front page link to [[Crafting]] was recently replaced by [[Trading]]. Since it's the [[Special:PopularPages|third most popular]] page on the wiki, I think it deserves a place on the main page.

== Section links? ==
 
 
 
Uh, aren't Maps and Game Modes a little more important than Trading and Misc. Items? I don't think we need an entire major link to a section that's only got a couple items in it.
 
 
 
I can understand keeping Trading on the front page, but one of the other two really needs to take Misc. Items' place. And while I'm at it, I really don't think we need a Patches link when we have all the latest patches on the right. [[User:VinLAURiA|VinLAURiA]] 13:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 
: What? Delete Hats? NOOOOOOOOO-  If be honest, there is no amusing information about maps, because you can play on them any time.

Did you know.....WHY YES I DO!

EIther its another malfunction on my side but, has anyone even taken consideration on how the "did you know?" page has been the same since last month? rather it seems to get more facts would be to go the "More" page, but change is nice as well isnt it? Gamecrazy009 21:58, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah i think its time for change.~Awesomesauce~ 00:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Random page, random language

Can't a random page be in the language to which you have the main page? There is only a small chance that you will get a random page in English!

yes i think the random page should be in your language.tired of my random pages being in arabic.~Awesomesauce~ 00:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

WTF

The "latest patch" section says that the most recent patch was 2/3/11, yesterday. Today is the 13th, there has been one other patch since 2/3. Explain these shenanigans. Asdfzxc920 21:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Odd... it went away when I refreshed the main page, but then this section of the discussion disappeared. This is just weird. Asdfzxc920 21:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
The wiki does not escape lag on occassions. The main page is a big offender of this, showing pages three or four edits from the latest version. Refreshing will fix it.--Focusknock 21:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

New blog post... now

New blog post out now (dang just some more silly community updates... T_T). Just Posting a notice. Smashbrother101 01:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
